“Huge concern” as @ONS figures indicate declining UK R&D spend, while @NCUBtweets analysis shows public investment in research generates private spending at more than double the level previously thought. @TWilliamsTHE reports

New data released by the ONS has revealed, indicatively, that the total spend on R&D across the UK reduced from 2.81% of GDP in 2021 to 2.77% of GDP in 2022.
This comes as new NCUB analysis reveals that for every £1 spent by the Government on R&D, an additional £3.09 to £4.02 is then spent by businesses investing in UK R&D. This is nearly twice as high as previously thought.
